While playing GTA IV what was the stupidest thing you have done that has gotten you killed?
I looked to see if anyone else had made a topic like this. I didn't find one, but sorry if it has been done.
Here is mine...

You know how sometimes when you shoot someone driving their car it goes forwards for awhile afterwards? Well, I shot a guy driving an SUV that was coming towards me and his car came a little bit faster than I expected. Before I could move out of the way, CLUNK CLUNK, poor Niko got crushed under both tires...needless to say I felt stupid.

Shortly after getting the game, I think the 3rd or 4th session of playing, I was avoiding a police chase, my tires caught fire, so I did what any seasoned GTA player would do: bailed out! Now, I was in the left hand lane approacing a bridge, didn't think much of the on-coming traffic. I figured I would just roll out, possibly BUMPING into a car coming my way...NOPE!! Dove out of the car, slammed my head on the bumper of a car driving quickly the other way, head snapped back....instant death!!

This one cop was chasing me, 1 star, I looked behind to see where he was, when i looked forward I got hit by a turismo, the cop then chased the driver who leaped out of his car and then I nicked the car and when I drove to see the chase I hit the criminal and then the cop jumped over my car and got to the door, he didn't try to arrest me ha just shot me in the head! lol.

One time, I was riding a Zombie around the first couple of days I got the game, when I got nailed by a sports car, flew up in the air, did a half-flip, and landed on my neck...

Another one was... I got wanted by the police, took a chopper, got on a tall building, and jumped off... I expected to die from hitting the ground, but instead, on my way down from the top, a cop shot me with a shotgun... He killed me...

Only a few days after getting the game i climbed onto a train and was shooting random peds when the train slowly began to move. Like always Niko stumbled and fell but caught his head on the second carriage as he slid back and cracked his neck, dying instantly! My first death and it was the worst lol!

Although a close second was when i was being chased by cops on a bridge, i stopped and got out on a part where the bridge had a gap for jumping and i got shot so stumbled out of the car, for some reason Niko stumbled for a long, long amount of time and when he finally stopped i made one move and fell off the gap ... i felt kinda stupid there!

I remember when the game first came out I was being chased by some cops and I tried to lose them by going through a gas station. I had no idea at the time the pumps would explode if I hit them. Well I nicked one of them and sure enough they blew up. It was pretty funny.

Yeah it's pretty much the same Here But in a Hot dog Stand.... The Guy did'nt want to sell me hot-dogs cause i hitted a women in my car parking up close to the stand... So got back in my car and decided to run him over with his stand! As I approach.... DIE YOU MOTHER FBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! I guess there was Propane int the hot dog stand cause i flew all the way back to the corner.....

I was playing freemode, and everyone was shooting everyone by all of the busses on the second island. I decided it'd be fun to slip out of the action, and grab a bus. I drove back as far as I could, and as soon as I got close to them, I pulled the E brake, slid into them, and killed all 9.

Stupid was being beaten to death by someone while drunk. Walked out of the bar and bumped the guy, thought it was funny till he started kicking my ass. Walked a couple of steps, fell down a flight of stairs(not very big) didn't die but that lowlife sonofabitch came down the stairs and kicked me to death. That's just wrong for some reason.

Funny was brawling with as many peds as I could take out. Getting really low on health so I try to finish off the last guy. We hit each other at the same time like in the Rocky movie. Not sure if he died, but we both fell. LMAO!

So I complete a tough mission, and I only have a couple millimetres of health remaining. I want to rush back to my safehouse to save and recover. I see a taxi across the street, and I run towards it. On the way, I get tapped gently in the knee by a slow reacting driver. I then collapse and the world becomes grey.

I'm on the top of Burger Shot w. 6 stars and only cheating to refill my ammo... well, I survived 2 game days there but then the unthinkable happened. I had about a quarter of my h.p. left and still going strong. I used an R.P.G. on a heli and hit the tail's back end. I thought I killed it, so I turned arround to get somemore cops. Little did I know, that the bheil was on fire and coming right at me. I was hit and killed instantly, ruined my killing streak...

Also, this is cool, but mabye old:

Uhh, I got killed from walking over the stream of water from a broken fire hydrant. Not sure if that would be the worst or funniest. I also died similar to this http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/thumb/5/58/Gta4copcar.gif/120px-Gta4copcar.gif posted above, only that I was speeding on my bike with 4* and I T-Boned a truck. When I tried to get up, I was run over by a cop car.

Oh, and 1 more that I remember was that I got 4* wanted level and ran into the hospital at Schottler. I ran to the small locker room and hid behind the door. Every minute or so a cop would come in, look at me behind the door, and run away. After 10 minutes, they smartened up and shot me. I lived(thanks to cheats), but one came in and whacked me in the head with his shot gun, then shot me with it. I died, but immediately after, another cop comes in and shoots the one that killed me, and then opens fire on my corpse.

EDIT: Thought of one more. I took an Annihilator up to a building near the the hospital at Schottler and sniped a officer blocking the way to the next area(I was at the beginning of the game) to get 6* wanted level. After cop cars and swat vans pull up below the building, I jumped and landed on a cop car!

I drove off of a cliff landed upside down and then three of the cop cars that were chasing me followed landing ontop of my car and exploded, I tried to climb out but my car exploded half way out of the window....my legs were hanging out of the driver side window as the car exploded and popped into the air.

I spawned a NRG-600 (or w/e it's called) in Playboy X's crib, drove onto the balcony and began to ride around. I eventually got bored and spawned a chopper to get me on top of the crib, from there I intended to wheelie off the roof, but Instead I pressed Y and jumped off and commited suicide into a truck

I just evaded the cops after a lengthy chase and my car was very badly damaged, Niko as well. I needed health, so I stopped to get out and call an ambulance. Well, as soon as I stepped out, a speeding police car hit me and smashed me into the open door of the truck I just got out of, ripping off the door and killing me.

I drove straight into a propane tank and got launched out my windshield over the tank as it exploded. I flew up into the air, and landed on a pretty tall building. I decided to jump off the top, because my life was going to be over if i barely even stumbled, so i jumped and landed on the tank again(if only they always respawned this fast) and with my legs spread apart like niko tried to do a split. There was also a very loud crack. I almost cringed, but it was just to darn funny.

i was playin story mode and i was doing a race to get a little money so i call my friend(stevie or packie whoever does the races) and i thought if i wanna win im gonna need a fast car...so i got my ONLY infernus that i had and took it 2 the starting line...the race had 5 laps and cars ranging from comets, super GTs, turismos, there werr even another infernus or 2.....so the whole time me, this infernus, and this yellow comet was neck and neck...and we got to the final lap and i was in second, the infernus in first and the comet in third....so i shoot at the infernus and it ends up catching fire so i came in first and the comet in second...so i go to shoot at the comet and i look back and i dont see it i look forward still not there...i look let no dice...so i finally turn right and there it was like a inch behind me...were like half a block away from the finish line and there was a bit of traffic....but it was like one narrow opening in the street where there was NO cars and room enough for one car to slip in that spot and win the race...so i tried 2 play dirty and i DASHED right to crash into the comet and bump it outta the way so i can win....the comet IMMEDIATLY stopped...and i slid off the road and crashes into a hotdog stand AND BLEW UP!!!! I WAS SOOOOO PISSED....I LOOK AT MY SCREEN FOR LIKE 30 MINS WITH MY MOUTH WIDE OPEN LIKE...."WTF"

I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IF U CRASHED INTO A HOT DOG STAND FAST ENOUGH IT WOULD BLOW...I KNOW NOW..lol

I just rememberd another one today...I sort of accidently re-enacted it..

It was on the mission where Mallorie calls and tells you that Roman has been kidnapped...I get to the warehouse in Bohan, driving a Benson(very large vehicle) and without even seeing it run right into a gastank...

I went to "beach" that inflatable boat on the dock near the copter in Alderney. I never noticed the red propane tank on that dock...'til then.

The first time I "mis-threw" a grenade. It landed at Niko's feet. Then I was flying OVER a tall tree nearby, in slo-motion, dead.

I didn't think that Peds would fight while Niko is drunk. Just lucky so far. But the first drinking session ever for me started with driving a car- wrong. Couldn't get anyhwere, bailed out and tried to run to the beach.
The cops shot me down like a dog in the dirt...

For me, it would have to be cruising down a street with a 4 star wanted level. Throughout car chases, I have a tendency to peer back at what is behind me. It doesn't seem like a bad thing until I drive straight into a guardrail and I fly out the windshield. As I flew through the air I knew I was going to die. I smashed into the ground and my world faded gray. Oh, how ridiculous that was.

My most embarrassing death was when runnng from the cops, I was on the train tracks and a helicopter was comming after me. So i pulled out the rocket launcher and shot the helicopter i turned around thinking i defeated the cops then all of a sudden the exploding helicopter landed on me.

My funniest death was the other day online playing free mode. There was this bus full of other players so i drove up beside them and shot at them. I then drove past them and picked up a rocket launcher off the ground. As the bus came towards me i fired the rocket launcher, as soon as i fired it some guy in a car slammed into me from the side killing me and making my dead body fly. The cool thing was that i killed all 5 people that were in the bus. But i was really pissed off that i got ran over like that.

I believe I wish in one of Brucie's early missions where you have to take down a crook using a cop car and ending up in a chase scene. I was really intense and I was doing pretty good, basically nailing every shower of bullets I aimed at him. We were about to enter a free way when I noticed that a big car was blocking the way, so I decided to end his life there.

I shot him a few more times and the car started to catch fire. Surprisingly, he went on the concrete dividers and the next thing I knew his wheels were facing the sky. I was still accelerating (too fast to slow down) and he landed on top of me and exploded. It was crazy and completely fast, but awesome!

Another one I had was when I was riding a faggio and for some reason kept hitting things at high speeds. With low health, I enter a freeway and hit the side of it, fly into the air and land on the ground, basically at no health. I Quickly tried to move before I was hit with a car, because right before I landed, a car nearly hit me, while on my back, a big rig ran over me, straight down the middle. You could see Nico's foot fly up...so gross.

I'm glad I found this thread before I made mine! It was going to be based on my answer to this one

This death was hilarious! I was playing online multiplayer GTA 4 on PS3, on mic , with this other guy I know from IGN boards, and I decided to grab a speed boat and drive towards where the sun was going to rise very soon. We approached a distance where we could not see the land anymore, and the sun was just about rising. On our mics we were saying 'awww look at the sunrise' lmao, then suddenly the words appeared (from memory) 'Turn back now or face the consequences' We were like 'ooo carry on!' So I carried on, then suddenly our boat exploded!!
